NetVault’s NDMP Plugin Module provides storage management for NAS devices running NDMP with the greatest efficiency and least impact on users.
Get performance that can be relied upon to reduce your NDMP-based network backup window. The NetVault NDMP Plugin Module leverages data transfer over the network while maintaining centralized backup administration, providing fast, online backup and recovery of data. These modules give you efficient NDMP backup regardless of the type of direct attached device you are using.

Key Benefits
Faster recovery with Direct Access Restore
Filers that support Direct Access Restore (DAR) can take advantage of this NDMP feature which enables fast recovery of whole directories, single files, or subsets of files by recording the file location. This eliminates the need to read sequentially through the entire backup.
Optimize backups
Backup windows are reduced with fast indexing and selectable index options.
Efficient backup performance
Fast NDMP backups regardless of the type of direct attached device in use. A filer backup can be performed to any machine with an attached device - not just the backup server.
Multiple backup configuration options
Increase network availability by redirecting backups to a variety of backup configuration options including local backup to filer; filer to filer data transfer; filer to NetVault server/client; NetVault server/client to filer; or dynamically sharing tape devices in a NAS/SAN environment.
Centrally manage and control distributed data
Leverage the data transfer over the network while maintaining centralized backup administration.
Simplified administration of NAS environments
Central management and control of highly distributable data with a common backup and restore solution.
Seamless interoperability
Mixed server environments are not a problem with NetVault’s NDMP Plugin Module that provides data protection for UNIX, Windows, Linux, and NAS devices.
